Sign me up...August (ok maybe not just august...maybe the entire summer) was a train wreck...now it time to get serious.

October is a big month, I'm a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding and I have to get measured for my own bridal gown (which I still have yet to pick out).

To support my efforts I'm abstaining from the following:

Beer

Cheeseballs

Pizza

Chicken wings

Coconut icecream

These delicious evil foods caused a 7 pound weight gain this summer (in combination with beer league softball). You would think adding another activity to my exercise routine would cause weight loss...this is a LIE!!!

It's Labor Day. Summer is over and it is time to THINK SKINNY!!!

Hey Guys

I'm new to this game but it looks AWESOME!! I am in a plateau also at the mo and need to work really hard to get out of it!! I am desperate to shift the pounds as uni starts in exactly one month today!!

 

(1/9/08) I managed to shift 2 lbs this week thanks to McDonalds... crazy huh?!

thanks for doing another month restlessgirl, you rock!

 Congratulations on the pregnancy!! Im on CC to lose weight for a wedding and then after that, I want to try to get pregnant. I plan to use CC during my pregnancy to make sure that Im eating enough calories for the babies development but not so much that I gain ALL the weight I lost. I think your suppose to gain between 30-40 lbs with a pregnancy (of which most is the baby and you lose quickly after the birth), but I have some friends that gained 80 lbs!! Of course, they were super skinny pre-baby and lost it really easily. But I know how hard it is lose 35 lbs so I dont want to gain 80 with a baby!! I also heard that breast feeding boosts your mestabolism, so its great for both your and your babies health!

GOOD LUCK!!

Your thoughtful challenge is so great, I wouldn't miss it for the world! Will post stats on Monday.

Have a good weekend!

I'd love to join!  I work full time, just started taking some classes, and have to give up running for three weeks in September to rehab my knee.  I'm also trying to break a long standing bingeing habit, and this month, with all it's changes, would be prime for bingeing.  Hopefully being a part of this challenge will help keep me on track!

 Courtney congratulations! That is wonderful news. I loved being pregnant! and keb, for sure, breast feeding is good for everybody! I wish I had contacted a lactation consultant or the LaLeche League to help me, because I've seen such happy women with their babies...I had twins, so it was going to be a challenge in any event. But here's to babies! and Mamas! Life regenerates!

Ok, I've decided to do another challenge, even though I only have a few lbs to work on.  They help keep me motivated and accountable.  Thanks so much restless girl for putting together another one.  I really enjoyed your challenge last month!
